Eleanor Rigby This version was arranged for one guitar rather than two It is fairly simple, if you're familiar with finger picking. It is written in G major and 4/4 time. It is in AA-BB-CC pattern. The intro is the C section. Key: G major Time Signature: 4/4 intro (C section) e-I-0========2-3-3/4-3-2-0==I---------------------------------I B-I-1========---------------I---0---0---0---------------------I G-I-0========---------------I-----2---0-------0---0-----0---2-I D-I-------------------------I-------------2/4---2---2/4-------I A-I-3========---------------I---------------------------------I E-I-------------------------I-0---------------------------0---I Play this twice then go to section A Section A e-I-----------------I-----------------I---------------I---------------I B-I-----0-----------I-----0-3---2-0-2-I---0---0-------I---------------I G-I-0-2---0-------0-I---2-------------I-----2-----2-0-I-2-------------I D-I-----------2-----I-----------------I---------------I---------------I A-I-----------------I-----------------I---------------I-3---3---3---3-I E-I-0---0---0---0---I-O---0---0---0---I-0---0---0---0-I---------------I e-I---------------I B-I-----0-1---0---I G-I-0-2-----------I D-I---------------I A-I-3---3---3---3-I E-I---------------I Play this twice then proceed to section B e-I-----------------I---------------I-3-0-------------I---------------I B-I-----------------I---------------I-------3---1---0-I---------------I G-I-2---0-2---0-----I---------------I-----------------I---------------I D-I---------------0-I---2-----------I-----------------I---------------I A-I-----------------I---------------I-3---3---3---3---I---------------I E-I-0---0---0---0---I-0---0---0---0-I-----------------I-0---0---0---0-I Play this twice and go back to section A. Play A twice then play B twice. Next play C (the intro) twice. Play A twice, B twice, and finally play section C twice. I have posted an optional ending arr. by Sam Anderson. After play section C at the end for the second time, play it once again and finally play this: e-I---------0=====12====================I B-I-0===3===------12====================I G-I---------------12====================I D-I---------------12====================I A-I---------------12====================I E-I---------------12====================I When you play part C the third time, you will begin to slow down when you play the open E (low E, sixth string). On the last part where you play the 12th fret of every string simultaneously, you will be playing "harmonics." For this you will bar all of the strings DIRECTLY OVER the twelfth fret (press down just lay your finger on the strings), strum, and quickly pull your hand away from the guitar. You will know that you have done it when the sound is higher pitch than just strumming the open strings. It will sound like it normally would if you barred the twelfth fret accept that it will have a ringing effect to it. It gives a great effect! NOTE: Throughout all of section A and most of section B, you will be playing the root E or C on every count (as quarter notes). Every other space is an eighth note. Every three spaces are quarter notes and so on. The last measure (the opt. ending) is by no means exact. You should go by feel and play it however you want. ===== means to hold out the note that this follows
